ORDER (1) REQUIRING SERVICE OF SUSPENSION ORDER AND (2)
REQUIRING IN PERSON ATTENDANCE AT STATUS CONFERENCE

suspended attorney David G. Lutz from the practice of law before this Court for a
period of 18 months (the “Suspension Order”). See In Re David Lutz, Case No. 17mc-50860 (E.D. Mich.), at ECF #1. Given Lutz’s suspension, it is no longer

(1) Lutz shall serve a copy of the Suspension Order on Plaintiffs by First
Class Mail by no later than August 25, 2017.
(2) The following individuals shall personally appear for a status
conference before this Court on Wednesday, September 27, 2017

at 10:30 a.m.: Rodney Helm, Linda Helm, David Lutz, and counsel
for the Defendants. The status conference will be held in Room 127
of the United States District Court, Federal Building and U.S.
Courthouse, 600 Church Street, Flint, Michigan. At this status
conference, the Court will discuss with Plaintiffs their options for
representation by counsel or self-representation moving forward in
this action.
(3) Lutz shall serve a copy of this order on Plaintiffs by First Class Mail
by no later than August 25, 2017.
(4) Lutz shall e-file a Certificate of Service with this Court by no later
than August 25, 2017, certifying that he has served Plaintiffs with
copies of the Suspension Order and this Order as set forth above.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
